CARBURETOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 423,257, dated March 11, 1890.

Application iiled July 2, 1889. Serial No. 316,312. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may concern:

Beit known that I, LOUIS C. HUBER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carburetors; and I do declare the following1 to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked tlieieoinwhich` form a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a Vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a top plan view with cover removed.

This invention has relation to certain improvements in carburetors designed espe*- cially for enriching natural gas; and it con sists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as will fully appear from the following description and accompanying illustrations.

In carrying out my invention I provide a suitable tank A, of rectangular, cylindrical, or other suitable shape in cross-section, and in practice located below the surface of the ground, to hold the gasoline, petroleum, or carbureting-oil, which is 'supplied thereto through the pipe a, extending from the lower portion of said tank or holder upward a suitablcdistance aboveground for the convenient filling of the tank.

ries of jet-apertures in the pipe-coil through which the natural gas passes into the gasoline being horizontally and evenly disposed in the same plane insures uniform cvaporzv tion. As the gasoline is thus consumed the In the lower side of thepipc and float descend with the lowering of the surface of the liquid.

To provide for supplying the natural gas to the coil B, I connect to the latterit may be by soldering-a pipe C, and to the top of the tank A in a similar manner a nozzle-like se'ction of pipe or sleeve D, applying in a suitable manner to the lower end of the pipe-section or sleeve D a collar E. Through this collar E passes the pipe C, which is surround ed with a suitable packing, making the collar gastight; but it does not fit so closely as to prevent the pipe sliding through said collar to accommodate the risingand-falling movement of the float. The collarE consists of two sections, one fastened to the upper side and the other to the lower side of the top of the tank A, its bore or passage coinciding with an opening in said top.

In the upper end of the" pipe-section or sleeve D is an internal screw-thread c, into which is screwed the natural-gas pipe proper F, which has an altitude above the tank a little greater than that of the pipe C above the oat to permit thetelescoping of the pipe F externally of the tank, thus permitting the making of the tank of much less height thancould otherwisebe the case.

The gas may be supplied to any desired place or point by suitable pipe-connection with the outlet-pipe C.

This invention hasfor its object, among other things, to obviate the necessity for providingspecially-constructed burnersfor using natural gas, and to prepare said gas for illuminating purposes in connection with the ordinary coal-gas burner.

The apparatus when charged with petroleum will serve an efficient purpose in separating the lighter oily products thereof from the heavier constituents, the latter being thrown down in the lower portion of the tank, while the lighter oils are separated and iioat on the top thereof.

' Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent,
